Alabama Barker breaks her silence on rumors that she was hospitalized

Alabama Barker addresses rumors that she was hospitalized for nicotine withdrawal.

“Hey everyone, I just want to clarify that I have not been in the hospital this month or last month,” the 19-year-old Vogue rapper wrote on her Instagram story on Tuesday, Dec. 31. “The situation happened some time ago and I was there for three hours until I was discharged.”

Earlier this week, rumors spread online that Alabama, who is the daughter Travis Barker and ex-wife Shanna Moaklersuffered from nicotine withdrawal after allegedly quitting vaping. While Barker didn’t reveal why she was at the hospital, she did share what she learned from the visit.

“They gave me a nicotine patch and an inhaler. That’s all,” she continued. “Let’s avoid spreading rumors and focus on moving forward. Thank you.”

Earlier this week, Alabama revealed that she had just come down with the flu.

“I had the flu and I wasn’t feeling well,” she said on December 27 TikTok video. “I couldn’t enjoy (my birthday) because I was very sick, but I’m back on my feet.”

Alabama’s birthday is Christmas Eve, which explains why she wasn’t shown in any photos with her father and his wife. Kourtney Kardashianat the Kardashians’ annual holiday gathering. While Alabama missed the celebration, it scored an epic holiday gift.

In the same TikTok on Dec. 27, Alabama showed off what she got for Christmas, including a sparkly Balenciaga shoulder bag, a vintage gold Dior purse, a fluffy Prada bag, a quilted Chanel backpack, a Birkin bag, and more.

“I got my second Birkin for my collection,” Alabama said, holding up her Hermès handbag. “We love her!”

While Alabama was recovering, Travis posted a sweet post in honor of his daughter’s birthday.

“Happy 19th birthday my angel @alabamaluellabarker. I can’t believe I’m saying this,” the Blink-182 drummer wrote via Instagram at that time. “I am so proud of you and love watching you grow. Never settle, the stars are not that far away. Never give up, never give up. I love you unconditionally. I love you to the moon and back. 🖤 ​​Dad.”

Alabama and her father shared a close bond over the years. As Alabama chased her musical dreams, Travis supported her along the way. If music video for her song “Vogue,” released earlier this month, both Travis and Kardashian made cameos in the production.
